Yoga Socks Help Prevent Slipping on the Mat

I love barefoot workouts, but I am learning that these workouts are more effective with the right socks. Yes, I said the right socks! (something I never really thought mattered before). I use to have issues slipping in certain yoga poses and body weight exercises. I also sometimes take barre or Pilates classes at local studio and it just feels a little more hygienic to wear socks.

I was pleased when Koyto Sports offered to send me a complimentary set of their Koyto Sports yoga socks, I also purchased their yoga sock and glove set. I will feature both in this review.

My Experience Using Koyto Sports Yoga Socks:

I now have tried several yoga socks as I have five pair that I currently use in rotation (three are from Koyto). Like any sock, it is nice to have at least a couple of pairs to rotate so you always have clean socks to reach for. Now I have no excuse not to do yoga, barre or body weight training every day if I want!

The first pair I purchased was from a well-known brand, but their one-size-fits-all size was too big for my feet. A snug fit is essential, as too loose a fit can increase the risk of slipping. Lately I have been more fortunate, my Koyto socks fit well and stay securely in place during workouts. I believe this is because the socks have gathers in a couple key areas so they fit snug but do not feel too tight.

The Koyto yoga glove and sock set is my go-to during yoga as I need a little extra traction on both my hands and my feet if I use a yoga towel. I tend to use the gloves almost daily as I just have one pair.

What makes these Yoga Socks set ideal for Yoga practice?

They are made of 82% cotton, 12% polyamide and 6% spandex with eco-friendly PVC dots (according to Koyto).

This set comes with two types of socks: toe-less socks and full toe socks, you can try both pairs and use them according to your routines and the temperature.

The PVC is designed to increase traction even without using a mat, I find them especially helpful when using a yoga towel as my skin is smooth and tends to slide on the fabric.

This set comes with two types of yoga socks so it is a great starter set to alternate between workouts.

They allow you to have more control while keeping your feet warm.

Provide stability and proper body alignment.

They help maintain proper hygiene

Sam isn't really that "sly", but a college roommate thought so since she had Sly and The Family Stone on nearly constant rotation. When not editing Feeling Fit, Sam can be found pretending to be "sly" and "feeling fit"!
